It's a really good haul. 

Had been flirting with both these OLBs in eval but never thought we'd end up with both. 

Just thought we could land 1 like them if we went DT/Walker/TE/WR high.  The Athletic Football show discussed Scourton before round 1 -- how he was the perfect type of target for Philly at the end of R1 who could develop into a monster.  Not to mention people were eyeing him since before the 2024 season thinking he would be a top-10 overall guy, but then got shoved into a containment role.

Value wise, feel like we got a 1st round talent at 51 and a solid solid 2nd with Princely at 77.

I sure hope they're right. But it's also worth noting that our head analytics guy is the former head analytics guy at PFF so our moves are always going to have a high chance of being viewed well by PFF. We're probably using a lot of the same metrics.

Didn’t realize this. That makes sense.

I dont agree that tmac was bpa so I guess we're both right

I'm not saying that T-Mac was for many people, but he was for many people, including Dan the man. It's all a part of it. I was once labeled the "Wide Receiver Extremist," so admittedly I may not be the most objective, but I love the pick. I think that we can agree that we all can learn to love why Dan made it.

Pass rush needed an upgrade, so both picks on day two went there.

Day one pick went towards finding a possible WR1 to pair with our other possible WR1, except this one is a natural hands catcher that wins with size while the other one wins with size and speed but doesn't have natural hands.

Well, I've always said this: PFF provides a lot of value pertaining to how they grade players. It's not perfect, but they can usually separate the wheat from the chaff. It's the other things that they do--all the rankings--that are more subjective in nature, and that seem to cause the most controversy among fans.

Well if you give it your stamp of approval, then I feel better (not that I feel bad about days one and two), and I'm not even being facetious. 

Now tell me what you (really) think of Nalo.

Well then every team takes BPA and you can't argue otherwise

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      Varying degrees all around but it starts at the top. That is where the buck stops. It has been 8 years of stupid, long before Morgan came back. Or Tillis was hired. Made it to the top of stupid mountain in 2023. Stayed in stupid limbo for a while, now we are prepping to scale the next mountain. In this case, I like those guys’ roster building better than what we have had so I am okay with them as our current pawns in the game of Bryce.

      Don't let me gas him up too much, but I hear this and that...... I seen a wide body man with a quick burst, that's able to shed blocks and if extends his long arms its over. He tore up the OL in the senior, you seen about 10 plays and the dog walking OLman. There's other plays of him doing the same, just have to deal with fetus talking over the plays. Plus there's this-  https://x.com/PFF_College/status/2018385471068332410?lang=en     I hope he's ready, cause Id like to see him starting and doing his thang with dbrown, nic, and Phillips.

      I mean there is relevance to that. But I think much of it has to do with the fact that he is clearly likeable. But does that translate to a coach taking his position to the next level like those that have had staying power for many years like Spoelstra? And not for nothing but does how much someone is liked even matter? Across leagues with the Panthers Ron Rivera and Marty Hurney were universally well liked by players. Dave Canales is very well liked. I say you are what your record says. And the record says you got your ass handed to you by a fellow expansion team in the Magic in a game that was over at halftime and that same team went toe to toe with our nemesis who has been handing us L's for over a year now. And if Bam doesn't get his leg swept by LaMelo do we even get past the Heat? Again. It just all boils down to personal standards. I think newer and younger fans will love this. I just want to actually win a real playoff game fam 🤷‍♂️
